    The reason I still owe six figures on this house is because I didn't buy this house until 2019. I bought it because I wanted to have a nice place for my now wife and kids to reside at. They both been in and out of college and will be on their own very soon.

    I've done a lot of things wrong my whole life. On a personal note I'm a recover alcoholic of over 11 years now. Most of my problems and late start in life is due to all the drinking that I did. But I've made a great recovery and I'm doing pretty darn good. Better than I should be at this age.

    I just started collecting full Social Security and will be throwing all of it at this house to pay it off as quickly as possible.

    No.. lol you dont need 30% down with good credit history, matter of fact if its 720+ you can get 0 down even for used truck. And i know several lenders who would do that. Or better yet - go to your bank and ask for credit line - i got 100k with 5% interest rate.

    here is the truth - never ask strangers if you should do this or that.. because those who doing good will discourage you - nobody needs extra competition, and those who failed- they are losers and their advice souldnt matter
